It will use the Cegid-CITCON CPOS Connector on Cegid’s integrated store and omnichannel retail management solution Cegid Retail Y2 to enable the service.
Cegid head of retail Nathalie Echinard said: “The growth of the QR-based mobile payments points to the imperative for merchants to develop and continually refresh sound payments strategies in order to remain competitive in a market being reshaped by technology, new competition, and customer demands.”
The collaboration enables Cegid clients cater to Chinese mobile payment app users with minimum IT infrastructure modification. More than a billion customers use Chinese mobile payments.
CITCON COO and president Wei Jiang said: “Discerning consumers are looking for unparalleled service that makes them feel rewarded, recognised, and inspired no matter where they are in the world.
